I'm no artist myself but I do find it interesting. I watch a girl on Twitch who uses GIMP.. mostly for coloring but I think she does drawing as well ( https://www.twitch.tv/jasmocolors/profile). In terms of converting drawings to digital I've seen a few videos on that. This one on InkScape ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnXQPwHEH0U) and this other one using InkScape as well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DVlmaG-91o)
If your goal is convertinga drawing into a diagram that should be pretty simple to scan and convert based on what I've seen in those videos. Throw some of Jasomo's coloring techniques on top of it ( https://www.youtube.com/user/jasmosteele) and I believe you can do a lot with digital drawing. that said it does require things like artistic skill, a drawing tablet, a scanner etc. -- Wolfkin http://about.me/wolfkin On Sat, May 14, 2016 at 6:03 PM, anne-ology <[email protected]> wrote: > looks interesting, yet also the same ;-) > > Now: > Well, I did sign up with one group to design new fonts, > but I don't understand how to get these new fonts to actually be > usable ... > there must be something more than just pasting them into the > appropriate folder(s) ;-) > > To convert a photo onto the computer, you might try a couple ideas: > > (1) scan the photo ... then convert this image to a black-white > sketch; > you'll get something like a line drawing which you can > then alter as you wish; > > (2) open LO's or another similar program ... sketch in the > diagram which approximates the photo; > the outcome will not resemble free hand, rather something > the computer did. > > Oh, BTW, I've watched some of these animated shows which folks seem > to rave that the computer is so good; > well, nothing can compare to the details which Walt > Disney's animators drew. > > > > From: charles meyer <[email protected]> > Date: Sat, May 14, 2016 at 3:17 PM > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Calling all Graphics People > To: anne-ology <[email protected]> > > > Hi Anne, > > I found this ... https://www.smartdraw.com/ .. but none which allowed you > to, as you alluded to, hand draw. > > I wondered if you've come across any online graphic designer/artists > groups? > > I'd love to be able to convert a photo into a diagram but I don't have a > lot of graphics software experience. > > Thanks so much. > > Charles. > > > On 5/14/2016 12:50 PM, anne-ology wrote: > > yes, I've done this. > > I have yet to locate a computer program which can even equal > free-hand drawing ;-) > > > > From: charles meyer <[email protected]> > Date: Thu, May 12, 2016 at 1:20 PM > Subject: [libreoffice-users] Calling all Graphics People > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > > > Hi Folks, > > I was wondering if there were any graphic designers, artists, others > who dabble with graphics in the list? > > Please feel free to e-mail me privately s well. > > Thanks so much. > > Charles. > > -- > To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] > Problems? > http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ > Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette > List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ > All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be > deleted > -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
